I worked out how to do this a while ago and documented the process, here are my notes, hope they help:
Note that normal methods for editing the iso DO NOT WORK as the disk fails to boot with a checksum error - the iso has to be re-created with the checksum recalculated. extract linuxboot.iso from the unattended install copy to a linux machine mount the iso using: mount -o loop linuxboot.iso /mnt/linuxboot (note that you will have to create /mnt/linuxboot first, and may need su for both operations, depending on the flavour of linux used) copy the contents of the mounted iso to somewhere else, so you can work on it, change to that directory, and then into the isolinux directory. all the files will be read-only (because copied off an ISO) so: chmod -R +w ./ then you need to edit isolinux.cfg to add in custom parameters. for example: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append initrd=initrd z_path=//your/share/path z_user=username z_pass=password (note the added z_path, z_user and z_pass parameters) change up one directory cd .. then rebuild the iso: mkisofs -V "linuxboot" -o linuxboot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .

I was at the Wiki site for modifying the bootdisk http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/ModifyingTheBootDisk but don't actually see anything that I can download to recreate the image. The Samba server that I have created just to test Unattend is named co-labdeploy-01 and I need to modify this in the script(s). We want to try and test this with Windows 2008 and Windows 2003 initially. We are trying at all cost to avoid using the new version of Microsoft(s) WDS BDD2007 Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
